Wecker testified he was directed to evaluate a person in handcuffs. He identified that person as Mitchell Young.

Wecker: At the time police were not certain whether Young was a victim or suspect. Police thought he had some injuries.

Young was sitting in a chair in handcuffs, had blood dribbling underneath his nose, he was breathing rapidly and he was crying or whimpering.

Wecker said he took gauze and placed it under Young's nose to prevent blood from dripping. Young said he had pain in the face area, Wecker testified.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:12:00 PM

Wecker testified there was no indication of any fracture.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:12:43 PM

Wecker said there was a minor amount of blood coming from Young.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:13:08 PM

Wecker testified that Young was able to give him his name. Wecker said he asked Young where he lived. "First he said nowhere and then I pressed him on that ... and he said 'Here and there,'" Wecker said. Wecker testified he continued to press Young, who eventually gave him his mother's name and information.

Wecker testified Young seemed agitated. "As normal we try to be calm and reassuring," Wecker said. He testified Young responded to questions in a calm manner.

This trial is a crock. These dirtbags need to be put down like dogs. The fact that our system allows this travesty to go on is a shame. Just disgusting.

Wecker testified Young appeared stable and his vital signs were stable and normal.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:15:57 PM

Young told Wecker he was hit in the face with a bat, Wecker testified.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:17:01 PM

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst, Young told Wecker his pain was a 6, Wecker testified. Wecker, though, said he would place the pain more likely at a one or a two.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:17:53 PM

That, Wecker testified, was based on a number of things, including whether Young needed pain killers. He said Young did not request any pain killers.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:18:27 PM

Wecker: He treated Young's bloody nose and assessed his face, which had no bruising or swelling. He also said he checked Young's chest.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:19:16 PM

Young wrote something on a piece of paper and passed it to his attorney.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:19:57 PM

Wecker said Young had no neck or back complaints, but he checked to make sure no deformity, pain or tenderness. There wasn't, he testified. Wecker, though, put on a cervical collar as a precaution.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:21:05 PM

Young was also placed on a backboard, but had difficulty breathing because of his nosebleed, Wecker testified. Ultimately, he allowed Young to sit up on the stretcher without the backboard, Wecker said.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:21:49 PM

Wecker said Young suffered a "minor injury."

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:23:22 PM

Wecker said Young told him he was hit with a baseball bat. Wecker said his injuries were not consistent with that. When a person is hit with a bat, a mark would be left and there would be swelling, Wecker testified.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:28:11 PM

Wecker testified Young's chest, while tender, there was no bruising or deformity.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:28:39 PM

Wecker said he would estimate that he provided minimal care for Young at the scene.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:29:45 PM

No further questions from Skrzynski.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:30:07 PM

McCarthy is beginning his questioning of Wecker.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:30:21 PM

Wecker again testified he did not observe any swelling on Young's face.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:35:44 PM

No further questions from McCarthy. Skrzynski asking questions.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:37:25 PM

Wecker testified Young's bloody nose could have been caused by a hit on the face or by falling.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:38:23 PM

No further questions for Sgt. Wecker.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:38:30 PM

He has been excused.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:38:39 PM

Judge Kumar said court is breaking for the day.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:38:59 PM

The only other thing that infuriates me more than seeing this "defense team" try and set up a false scenario is the fact that Michigan voters aren't sharp enough cognitively have the death penalty on the books!

Court is in recess until 8:30 a.m. tomorrow.

by Gina Damron6/20/2013 8:40:05 PM

Young looked at his grandmother while being led out of the courtroom. She appeared to give him a nod.

Thanks Gina. How scared does Young look throughout this testimony?

by kwame's Bowtie6/20/2013 8:54:38 PM

Hi KB. He is sitting very straight and nearly motionless. He's been folding his hands together a lot, as well.
